After an uncertain beginning to this year's annual Parade of Water Floats, here are a few examples of what can be accomplished when a town unites. The production of these unique water floats was started back in the 1950's by a handful of creative residents and businessmen. The floats were originally built by individual groups and several years later one person would be in charge of building ALL the floats with financial help from the various sponsors. It didn't take long for the overwhelming task of this job to cause "burn out". I say thank you to all those who "took up the cross" so to speak this year to see that this fabulous and very unique feature to Lake View's Summer Water Carnival would not "pass away"! I hope that next year we will continue to see a return to a united community support of this wonderful tradition.
